Theater Counts: Ghostbusters debuts in 3,963 theaters

July 14th, 2016

Continuing the good news for Ghostbusters in the run-up to its theatrical release, the movie will play in 3,963 theaters this weekend, up from Sony’s predicted 3,700. It’s not usual for a film to get this kind of jump, but the fact that it’s playing in almost 300 venues more than the studio announced last week suggests that they’ve managed to book it in more locations in the past week. Perhaps theater owners are feeling more confident of the film’s chances?
